20090204702 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK MANAGEMENT USING SELF-DISCOVERING THIN AGENTS - In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of managing a computer network includes installing an agent in each of a plurality of network nodes in the network. The agent may be configured to identify one or more types of network resources attached to a particular node with which the agent is associated. One or more roles may be assigned to or by the agent based, at least in part, upon the one or more types of network resources identified by the agent. Functions associated with the identified roles may be executed. Monitoring the status of each agent may also be carried out. In another embodiment, a network management system includes an agent executing within an associated network node of the network. The agent may be configured to operate so as to identify one or more types of resources attached to the network node. The agent may be assigned one or more roles based, at least in part, on an inference based upon the one or more types of attached resources identified by the agent. | 08-13-2009 |
20090030896 | INFERENCE SEARCH ENGINE - A system and method for processing an electronic query that includes defining a set of rules accessible to an inference engine and wherein the set of rules are configured for (a) parsing the query into one or more subsequent-queries; and (b) determining whether additional information is necessary to answer each subsequent-query and, if so, (i) accessing a registry containing descriptions of one or more data resources, (ii) analyzing the descriptions of the one or more data resources to locate information responsive to the subsequent-query; and then the system and method could apply the set of rules to the information, aggregate all of the information responsive to the query, and supply an answer to the query that is compliant with the set of rules. | 01-29-2009 |
